- Pd(II)-catalyzed annulation reactions of epoxides with benzamides to synthesize isoquinolones
-
Epoxides as alkylating reagents are unprecedentedly applied in Pd(II)-catalyzed C?H alkylation and oxidative annulation of substituted benzamides to synthesize isoquinolones rather than isochromans, which is accomplished through alerting the previously reported reaction mechanism by the addition of oxidant and TEA. Under these conditions, various isoquinolones have been prepared with yields up to 92%. In addition, this methodology has been successfully employed in the total syntheses of rupreschstyril, siamine, and cassiarin A in an expedient fashion.

- Harnessing hypervalent iodonium ylides as carbene precursors: C-H activation of: N -methoxybenzamides with a Rh(iii)-catalyst
-
Hypervalent iodonium ylides expeditiously generate carbenes which undergo domino intermolecular C-H activation followed by intramolecular condensation in the presence of N-methoxybenzamide as a starting material and a Rh(iii)-catalyst to afford dihydrophenanthridines. KIE studies and DFT calculations were performed to substantiate the mechanistic pathway. To extend the synthetic utilisation, fluorescent pyranoisocoumarins were achieved by using Rh(iii)-catalyzed peri-C-H/O-H activation/annulation reactions.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Inert C?H Bond Activation and Cyclocarbonylation of Isoquinolones with Carbon Dioxide Leading to Isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinoline-5,7-Diones
-
A palladium-catalyzed inert C?H bond activation and cyclocarbonylation of isoquinolones leading to isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinoline-5,7-diones under 1 atm of carbon dioxide has been developed. This transformation features high regio- and chemo-selectivity, step-economy, and good functional group tolerance. Most of the corresponding products were obtained in moderate to good yields. It offers an alternative approach for the synthesis of useful diverse isoindolo[2,1-b]isoquinoline-5,7-dione derivatives. (Figure presented.).

- Three-Component Synthesis of Isoquinoline Derivatives by a Relay Catalysis with a Single Rhodium(III) Catalyst
-
A rhodium(III)-catalyzed one-pot three-component reaction of N-methoxybenzamide, α-diazoester, and alkyne was developed, providing an alternative way to synthesize isoquinoline derivatives. Mechanistically, it is a relay catalysis, and the reaction occurred via successive O-alkylation and C-H activation processes, both of which were promoted by the same catalyst.

- C-F bond cleavage enabled redox-neutral [4+1] annulation via C-H bond activation
-
Using α,α-difluoromethylene alkyne as a nontraditional one-carbon reaction partner, a synthetically novel method for the construction of isoindolin-1-one derivatives via Rh(III)-catalyzed [4+1] annulation reaction is reported. The 2-fold C-F bond cleavage not only enables the generation of desired product under an overall oxidant-free condition but also results in a net migration of carbon-carbon triple bond. In addition, the present reaction protocol exhibits a tolerance of a wide spectrum of functional groups due to the mild reaction conditions employed.

- Palladium-Nanoparticles-Catalyzed Oxidative Annulation of Benzamides with Alkynes for the Synthesis of Isoquinolones
-
A novel method to synthesize isoquinolones via oxidative annulation of N-alkoxy benzamides and alkynes using binaphthyl-stabilized palladium nanoparticles (Pd-BNP) as catalyst has been developed. This methodology affords various isoquinolone derivatives in good to excellent yields with high regioselectivities in the presence of air as oxidant. N-Methoxybenzothioamide was also found to undergo oxidative annulation with alkyne successfully and provided a sulfur analogue of isoquinolones in moderate yields. The Pd-BNP catalyst was easily recovered and reused up to four times without any apparent agglomeration. (Figure presented.).

- Palladium-Catalyzed Deaminative Phenanthridinone Synthesis from Aniline via C-H Bond Activation
-
This work reports palladium-catalyzed phenanthridinone synthesis using the coupling of aniline and amide by formation of C-C and C-N bonds in a one-pot fashion via dual C-H bond activation. It involves simultaneous cleavage of four bonds and the formation of two new bonds. The present protocol is ligand-free, takes place under mild reaction conditions, and is environmentally benign as nitrogen gas and water are the only side products. This transformation demonstrates a broad range of aniline and amide substrates with different functional groups and has been scaled up to gram level.

- Amides and Ethers as Chemoselective Surrogates for Copper(II)-Catalyzed ortho Benzoyloxylation of 2-Phenylpyridines
-
Chemoselective ortho benzoyloxylation of 2-phenylpyridine derivatives using amides and ethers as novel arylcarboxy sources using a Cu(II)/TBHP catalytic system has been reported. It is a simple protocol for ortho benzoyloxylation using amides and ethers as surrogates. A broad range of amides and ethers was found to be compatible under optimized reaction conditions to provide the corresponding products in good to excellent yield. The reaction proceeds through the cleavage of C-N, C-O, and C-H bonds and the formation of a new C-O bond via C-H functionalization.

-
A metal-free oxidative cycloaddition reaction of substituted benzamides and alkynes has been developed for the synthesis of isoquinolones by using bis(trifluoracetoxy)iodobenzene (PIFA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). Under mild conditions, a wide variety of isoquinolones were conveniently prepared via oxidative annulation of simple N-methoxybenzamide and diarylacetylene or aryl/alkyl acetylene derivatives in yields up to 87%.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed isoquinolone synthesis through C-H activation using an oxidizing directing group
-
The oxidant directs: A mild, practical, efficient, and regioselective Ru-catalyzed isoquinolone synthesis with a broad substrate scope was reported (see scheme). In this redox neutral process, the aromatic CiH bond functionalization can be performed at room temperature without using any external oxidant. The mechanism of the reaction was probed, and it was found that CiH activation is the turnover-limiting step.
